Wow all those links are awesome. Thank you for putting in the work. This has to be the greatest website in the history of mankind.
Hawks definitely winning the off-season so far. I’d say the Hornets are the big losers so far with Atkinson & Miles B. both making the org look less than awesome. Obv a long way to go. I’m hype to see these guys get their $ tho
The opposite! Hahaha
Cifford is better than Atkinson;
The price on Bridges went down,
ensuring a winning bid for their Martin;
Williams hits the spot to boost defense.
Nothing lost, rise continues.
Hawks will reconvene with Collins sheepish.
About Dejounte & Griffin, prepare for letdown.
Future picks gone.
